One muggy and unusual night, I woke at 3 AM, hazily recalled predictions of spectacular meteor showers, and dragged a sleepy Larry with me out to our driveway to watch for meteorites. After craning our necks for a few minutes that seemed like hours, we finally saw one or two tiny, magnificent flashes. It was a catch-it-in-the-corner-of-your-eye type thing. There and gone. Blink and you miss it. We stumbled back inside and I couldn't sleep for the Glory of God's night sky. Words pelted my brain and I had to write them down. (See the very first post: Meteors at Night.)

Like the meteor shower, my inspiration often comes unbidden at night in quick bursts that demand my attention. I get excited about it. I don't want to miss it, not any of it. Not one quick flash, not one Illumined moment, not one whisper from God.

I'm trying hard to catch it and collect it and put it all in one sky. You're welcome to do a little gazing here anytime.

Same Side



We’re on the same side of the door,
The same page of the book,
The same mile of the road,
The same turn of the quilt.

The same stir of the cup,
The same bite of the bread,
The same calls to the doc,
The same trips to the bank.

The same cast of the rod,
The same flick of the screen,
The same look at the leaves,
The same climb up the hill.

The same beat of our hearts,
The same walk in the world,
The same Lord of our lives –
We're on the same side.
